Being able to import Fresco iPad brushes to iPad illustrator and save them permanently to the illustrator brush library.
Fresco has a great set of brushes. It would improve Illustrator on the iPad immensely if they were interchangeable and could be added to the illustrator iPad brush menu permanently.

Make CC library (sub)folders and folder names visible
I work with various projects that each has separate collections, so I have my color swatches sorted accordingly into each collection folder in my CC Libraries for each project - which is great when I switch from Illustrator to Photoshop and other desktop programs. But on iPad version of Illustrator all swatches are in one huge messy mix of swatches without any kind of (sub)folders visible - I can´t believe that this basic functionality is still missing. Hope it will be improved very soon!

An eyedropper like the desktop that samples swatches, can apply appearances
If you apply global swatches to your artwork on the iPad, you can't use the eyedropper to accurately sample those colors/swatches to other objects. The eyedropper reads the color, but the formula numbers are slightly off, and it applies this to the object, rather than applying the swatch. Also, when I create a swatch on the iPad using whole numbers, when I open the file on the desktop, the swatch has decimal numbers. You can't type in any decimals on the iPad, and yet they are there on the desktop. Designers need accurate swatch functionality and a better eyedropper on…

Finger Gesture Workflow
I just started my trial for illustrator on iPad, and Im already upset because of this touch modifier button. Why am I forced as a user to use this touch modifier button? Why can’t I just use a 1 finger or 2 fingers ANYWHERE on the ipad screen to do primary and secondary behaviors? I dont want to use this touch modifier. I instead want to use my fingers because its easier and faster.
I hate how I SPECIFICALLY have to tap on this touch modifier button to do primary and secondary behaviors for different tools and actions. I want…

Blend Tool (for Illustrator iPad) Should also work for Font
at the moment blend for Illustrator iPad works only for Paths and isn’t applicable for fonts unlike in Illustrator for Desktop, hope this feature would be applied to future updates for the iPad version. Thank you very much.

Hand tool and scrolling with the mouse, horizontal scrolling as well (like a computer)
The shortcut H does not work on the ipad pro to access the hand tool, while this is the case on a computer. Scrolling up and sideways is also very important for my workflow. This is important for me to be able to pan around as I am using my iPad Pro as a laptop replacement.

Smart guides in Mirror Tool
I would love to see the mirror tool use smart guides. It is so hard to try and line up shapes without it.

Rotate tool
Being able to rotate a shape or object on a specified area would be very useful. Because the radial has its limits.

Allow images files to be exported at higher resolutions
Option to export using dpi instead of ppi
Older versions of Illustrator used to have the option to export using dpi instead of ppi, when working with printing presses we need this option to be able to get good quality output without having to make images large by having to use 1200ppi to get best quality

Drag layer on to another to create clipping mask
Having used Affinity designer for a while I am blown away by the whole UI. It makes using illustrator a chore in comparison but I need to have After effects compatibility. A stand out feature is being able to drag a layer on top of another to create a clipping mask. It also doesn’t delete the mask layer so no need to duplicate it first if you want to keep the mask source. It is a much better solution than Adobe and should be added to desktop and iPad!

Make ESC Key = CMD + Return
There is not a physical Escape (ESC) key on the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard.
On PC, I’m used to hitting CTRL+Enter to exit an active text object.Could we please make CMD+Return on the iPad exit an active text field?
Currently that Keyboard Shortcut is ESC. Which doesn’t exist. And the Apple version CMD+. Doesn’t work either. CMD+Return would be the most familiar and fluid option.4 votes -
Specific Export Options
Can we please get better export settings like size options (where we can enter real numbers, not 1x-4x), ppi resolution, color space, etc. There is too much that is automatic and to get the correct results I often have to go to the desktop version. Please add the same level of customization for exports as the desktop, or at least more professional options for the iPad :)

When I work on my iPad, I don't want to save it to the cloud automatically.
When I work on my iPad, I don't want to save it to the cloud automatically.
When working on the iPad using illustrations or photoshop applications,
It's automatically saved to the cloud.
I'm using an individual cloud, and I'm double-stored, so I'm sure
It gets very complicated.
Please allow me to turn off auto save as an option.4 votes -

Customizable shortcuts
Make it just like the desktop version. I have many shortcuts customized in the desktop version and it would be great to have them in the ipad version. If you could import them it would be even better!
